Patient's question:
I have a cold again, and now I'm coughing. Besides phlegm, I'm feeling a bit annoyed. This is already the third time I've caught a cold this month. Every time he gets a cold, I get nervous. Other children's colds are usually fine after taking some medicine, but his doesn't get better even with medication. What should I do for a 6-month-old baby with a cold, cough, and phlegm?Doctor's answer:
A six-month-old baby experiencing coughing with phlegm again should be considered for possible acute bronchitis or pneumonia. The symptoms may not improve significantly after oral medication, and it may be necessary to undergo intravenous treatment. It is important to seek medical attention promptly.In daily life, it is important to drink more water, promote frequent bowel movements, and enhance the discharge of phlegm to avoid the possibility of phlegm obstruction leading to breathing difficulties again. Feeding in small, frequent meals can prevent overfeeding.
